Bee Keeping Suit

The Suit

     We went to a local beekeeper to see what we should get.  I bought a large adult beekeeper suit for my dad and an extra small adult for me and mom to share.    You have to keep the suit clean because bees can smell the past stings of other bees.   If your suit is not clean and they smell that odor it will alert the bees to sting.    The suit is made of canvas so air can go through but stings won't hurt you. It feels comfy.


Gloves
           The glove have canvas from the elbow to the mid-upper arm.  They have netting from your wrist to your elbow.  The hands are very fitted so that you can work easily.  They are made of buck skin leather.
